Design and export free Joomla templates visually, with a genuine installation package and a secure AI layer that works as an architect rather than an uncontrolled code generator.
Building a custom Joomla template usually requires a combination of design, coding, module management, responsive behaviour and knowledge of the Joomla installation structure. Linelabox Template Architect brings the entire process into a clear visual environment. It is more than a single-page editor: it is a new platform for creating genuine, installable Joomla templates, from the core layout and global design system to individual system and component pages. It gives designers and site owners a practical way to create free Joomla templates without having to build every file from scratch.
Create free Joomla templates visually
Preview your design continuously inside the editor or open it in a dedicated preview. Changes are saved automatically, while the built-in history lets you return to an earlier version of your design.
The editor lets you assemble rows, columns, Joomla module positions and the main component area. You can add supported modules or start with prepared snippets and starter designs. Every element can be adjusted directly on the canvas or through its contextual inspector.
With Linelabox, you can customise:
- colours, typography and design tokens,
- spacing, borders, shadows and backgrounds,
- buttons, cards, forms and navigation,
- headers, footers and menu layouts.
- desktop, tablet and mobile layouts,
- visibility at different screen sizes,
- safe custom content and custom CSS,
- the appearance of individual Joomla Pages.
Pages: design complete Joomla component views
Pages are one of the platform's most important features. They are not ordinary pages filled with manually inserted content. Instead, they represent real output types produced by Joomla components. You can design the appearance of an article, category blog, article list, archive, search page, contact page, tag view, user form or privacy page separately while keeping one consistent template design.
Meaningful design sections
The inspector works with titles, descriptions, forms, filters, cards, tables, images, metadata and buttons instead of exposing a confusing raw HTML tree.
Responsive controls
Each section can be styled for desktop, tablet and mobile. Repeated elements with the same role are edited together for a consistent result.
Safe previews
Preview content is inert. It cannot trigger real logins, orders, payments or other live website processes.
Joomla e-commerce templates for Phoca Cart
For online stores, Linelabox currently supports Phoca Cart. The editor provides previews and styling controls for supported store pages, including the catalogue, categories, product detail, shopping cart, checkout, customer account and wishlist.
Grid, Gridlist and List
Product listings can be previewed in three layouts. Switching between them is strictly a design feature: it does not change store data or trigger any purchasing operation.
The previews respect the structure of Phoca Cart and Bootstrap and cover mobile layouts, right-to-left languages, and light and dark colour schemes. Support for additional e-commerce extensions may follow later.
AI as an architect, not an uncontrolled creator
Linelabox also includes an AI layer. At launch, this feature will be available only to selected users and testers.
The AI does not generate arbitrary code and insert it into a template without supervision. It interprets the brief, proposes a structure and assembles the result from registered, safe building blocks that the editor understands and can validate.
A controlled design process
AI can suggest section layouts, module positions, component types, a colour system or a typographic hierarchy. Every step remains within an allowed scope and passes sanitisation and quality checks.
Install your template like a standard Joomla extension
There is no need to assemble the finished template manually, upload it over FTP or edit its installation files. Linelabox creates an installable ZIP package that can be uploaded through Joomla's standard extension management interface. This means a free Joomla template created in the visual editor remains a genuine, portable Joomla template.
Complete your design
Including Pages and all responsive variants.
Download the ZIP package
It contains the template and only the required additions.
Install it in Joomla
Just like a standard Joomla extension.
The result is a self-contained and portable Joomla template. The editor is not connected to the target website's database, and the installation process protects existing managed modules that a site administrator has modified manually.
Create and download free Joomla templates
Linelabox Template Architect will remain free. Visual template creation, design editing, Joomla Pages, responsive settings, previews and installation package generation will all continue to be available at no cost.
Free Joomla templates built as thoughtful systems
A modern Joomla template should not be a one-off generated page. It should be a carefully designed system that respects Joomla positions, components, modules, responsive rules and a secure installation process.
Linelabox combines visual design, precise control and a genuine Joomla output. AI can accelerate the architectural phase, but the final decisions and creative control remain in the user's hands.
